Took a look down a westbound road right away I made my choiceHeaded out to my big two wheeler I was tired of my own voiceTook a bead on the northern plains and just rolled that power on

Twelve hours out of Mackinaw City stopped in a bar to have a brewMet a girl and we had a few drinks and I told her what I'd decided to doShe looked out the window a long long moment then she looked into my eyesShe didn't have to say a thing I knew what she was thinkin'

Roll roll me away won't you roll me away tonightI too am lost I feel double crossed And I'm sick of what's wrong and what's rightWe never even said a word we just walked out and got on that bikeAnd we rolledAnd we rolled clean out of sight

We rolled across the high plainsDeep into the mountainsFelt so good to meFinally feelin' freeSomewhere along a high roadThe air began to turn coldShe said she missed her homeI headed on alone

Stood alone on a mountain top starin' out at the Great DivideI could go east I could go west it was all up to me to decideJust then I saw a young hawk flyin' and my soul began to riseAnd pretty soonMy heart was singin'

Roll roll away I'm gonna roll me away tonightGotta keep rollin' gotta keep ridin' keep searchin' till I find what's rightAnd as the sunset faded I spoke to the faintest first starlightAnd I said next timeNext timeWe'll get it right
